Murray Isles - Moorook Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Ngaambul: As there's been no cache to find or log to sign for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Forget the Greek Isles or the British Isles! The "Murray Isles" are the place to be!!!

This series of caches will take you to various Isles in or boarded by the Murray River between the central Riverland Towns. Other hiders are welcome to continue the series in their area. The only requirement is the Isle must have an official (or locally known) name.

Murray Isles - Moorook
WOW! I enjoyed the paddle around Thurk Island and Moorook Island is every bit as satisfying. When attempting this cache don't short change yourself paddle around the whole Island; about 1km.

Moorook Island
Somewhat wonky Moorook Island sign.......

One of the highlights spied from the kayak were two distinct canoe trees

Canoe Tree one
The first Canoe Tree about 100 downstream from the Boat Ramp at Moorook.


Canoe Tree
The second Canoe Tree just down stream from the '452' marker.



Then there was this fella on the other side of the Island

Pelican
Pelican, can it be the one on the pathtag reward for this series?


You are seeking a 200ml sistema located above head height, you don't need to step onto the island to get this cache, but you will probably need to get your feet wet. Look closely to find the tool you require and please ensure when returning the cache and tool that they are secure.

*** Please remember to record the number in the back of the log book and the Murray Isles cache name along with it...... they may (or may not) be required to find additional caches as the series progresses***

To make it worth your while another cache has been planted close by to find while out in your watercraft 'Heinicke Ruins' GC1MNK1
